North India & South India Comparison Essay

North India and South India both had many similarities and differences. Regional kingdoms contained alike and dislike economies, political views, and religions. Over time, both areas developed in different ways. These ways shaped the form of India today. North and South India flourished because of its similar and different qualities. Many factors impacted the similar economies of North and South India. Monsoons affected both regions and caused long rainfalls in the summer and dry winds in the autumn and winter. In the Intellectual section in my PERSIAN Notes it says: during the autumn and winter months, irrigation was especially necessary and they both created dams, canals, wells, and tunnels. Rice, wheat, barley, pepper, spices, and specialized crops were grown. Because of the increase in agriculture, population growth occurred and by 1500 C.E. the population was 105 million. It also caused urbanization for North and South India. North and South India were interconnected with their economy in these ways. Although there were several similarities, there were also differences. North India’s main economical production was agriculture and South India’s main production was trading through the Indian Ocean basin. In South India the people traded more because they had access to the Indian Ocean basin and used the monsoon winds to travel oversea. Hindu temples served as banks and gave loans, invested in business, and invested in commercial ventures. Mosques only served for religious purposes. Economically North and South India are different. India had many kingdoms with similar political ruling and ideas. Both north and south were first ruled by Indians. North and South India were ruled by kings in regional kingdoms.

Rulers would tax their people and make the big decisions for the regions. According to the Political section in my PERSIAN Notes it says: most of the kingdoms weren’t centralized and allowed autonomy for the villages. Their governments were also...

Gandhi linked the issue of Swaraj with the Khilafat issue to bring Hindus and Muslim together in onemovement. The Civil Disobedience or Non-cooperation movement was started.

It began with returning of honorary titles given by the British and then continued to a boycott of the legislatures, elections and government works. Foreign clothes were burned and Khadi (home woven cloth) became a symbol of freedom. By the end of 1921, all of the important leaders, except Gandhi were in jail. In February 1922, at Chaurichaura, Uttar Pradesh, violence erupted and Gandhi called off the movement. He was then arrested and the movement ended.

The complexities of religion verses culture have been debated throughout the ages. Having such a diverse religious population, India has seen many arguments, debates, and parliaments questioning originality of the religions, the origins, traditions, similarities and most of all the differences of South Asian people. In his essay, “Three Hundred Ramayanas”, AK Ramanujan explores the vast range of Ramayana tradition in South Asia. He argues that there is not one Ramayana, but a myriad throughout South Asia. Despite counterarguments by other scholars, Ramanujan’s essay reveals how diverse India is in its traditions and the fact that argument sparked over his piece of work exhibits this. Although these religions are geographically and somewhat culturally related through language, customs and heritage, these religions have grown to become unique and separate in their own spheres. To unify or clump them together as one would lead to confusion and mystification. The religions and traditions of South Asia cannot be categorized under the pretext of having the same beliefs and practices. Each religion and tradition, be it Sikh, Sufi (Islamic Mysticism), Hindu, Buddhist or Jain, has similar thematic elements, which when studied in greater detail allow us to differentiate the...

Initially, India will get employment but that may also affect the middle class people who are mostly depended on small business.

In a country with 1.18 billion people and counting it is hard to keep track of all the small things going on without a strong and organized government. Throughout India you can see various issues that may be keeping it from becoming an MDC. Major problems such as language differences, extreme poverty, health problems, migration issues; can all lead to one conclusion; Corruption.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It’s not easy to define corruption. But in a narrow sense, corruption is mostly concerned with bribery and takes several forms. Corruption is a global phenomenon and can be found just about anywhere. Corruption has progressively increased and is now rampant in the Indian society. Corruption in India is a consequence of the link between Bureaucracy, politics and criminals. India is now no longer considered a soft state. And has now become state where anything can be done for a certain price. Today, the number of ministers with an honest image can be counted on fingers. Indian administration is now tainted with scandals. India is among 55 of the 106 countries where corruption is prominent, according to the Corruption Perception Index 2004 Report released by Transparency International India. Corruption in India leads to promotion not prison. It is very difficult to catch these criminals. Corruption in India has wings...

...of an efficient transport system was the top most priority in the first Five year plan. The state has two airports at Bhintar in Kullu district, and at Jubbarhatti near Shimla. It was only by January 1991 that Himachal was linked up with the broad gauge system by extending the Delhi-Nangal rail line. Although railways and airways in Himachal serve very limited transport needs of the people, the road network of the state makes it unique.
[edit]Geography
The geography of Himachal presents considerable challenge to the development of transport infrastructure. Nevertheless, the state has made significant progress in road connectivity in the last few decades. Himachal at present has the highest road density among all the hill states of India. Although Himachal also has three airports and two narrow gauge rail tracks, roads remain the main mode of transport in Himachal.

Beer in India
Beer first appeared in India in the mid-1700’s, during the early years of the British Empire. The demand of beer came from the British troops and other British officials who were suffering in the blistering heat of the Indian climate. The demand for beer was at such a high rate that a British distributor, George Hogson, developed a special type of beer in his brewery in London, England. The beer was dubbed Indian Pale Ale or IPA for short. IPA was developed to survive those long voyages from England to India without spoiling, because of the increasing temperatures during the 5 moth voyage to India.
In the late 1820’s a brewer, Edward Dyer, moved from England to India to set up India’s first brewery. The brewery was located by the city of Shimla in the Himalaya Mountains. The brewery produced Asia’s first beer called Lion before it was relocated to the town of Solan. The brewery moved for two reason, to be closer to the British and because the new area has an abundance of fresh spring water. The brewery is still operational. After the success of his first brewery, Dyer opened up several other breweries throughout India. Dyer was later brought out by H.G Meakin who adds another couple breweries in India. In 1937 after the detachment of Burma from India, the Dyer Meakin Breweries became a...
